Ryanair bomb alert came in note tucked in magazine

A bomb alert on board a Ryanair flight today was given to the plane's captain in the form of a note in a magazine, Strathclyde Police Assistant Chief Constable John Neilson said.

The flight was diverted to Glasgow Prestwick Airport after the captain alerted air traffic control about halfway through the Beauvais (Paris)- to-Dublin flight, he said. It is not known who gave it to the captain nor what language the alert was in.
